dressing materials
Overview of product types
The category dressing materials includes sterile compresses and gauze pads, gauze and fleece bandages, fixing and elastic bandages, wound dressings, sterile dressing packs, plaster strips and tape as well as accessories such as scissors and bandage clips. The products are supplemented by quick wound dressings, hydrocolloid and foam pads as well as fingertip and adhesive plasters for local applications.
Areas of application and application situations
Dressing materials are used to stop bleeding, cover wounds, cushion and fix catheters or dressings. They are used for initial care, wound care after procedures, regular dressing checks and protection against contamination. Due to different absorbency, sterility and adhesion, materials can be combined specifically for acute wounds, chronic exudate treatment or as a protective layer.
Properties and selection criteria
Important criteria are sterility, absorbency, skin compatibility and fixability. Gauze bandages and gauze pads provide flexible padding; elastic bandages allow compression; hydroactive pads regulate moisture. For safe use, pre-sterilized disposable products and easy-to-handle packaging are an advantage, as are clear size labels and tested material quality.
Advantages in everyday practice
- Efficient wound coverage and protection from external contaminants
- Quick fixation and stable fit thanks to adhesive and fixing materials
- Different suction levels for individual exudate control
- Easier storage through standardized pack sizes
Quality and brands
Products from manufacturers like Hartmann, Leukoplast and Lohmann & Rauscher stand for tested material quality, sterile handling and coordinated system solutions. The selection is based on standards for sterility and skin compatibility as well as practical requirements such as ergonomics and packaging size.
Practical advice on combinations
To ensure safe care, absorbent compresses are combined with a fixing gauze or elastic bandage; Hydroactive dressings are recommended for heavily exuding wounds. Adhesive plasters and hypoallergenic adhesive strips ensure a secure hold on sensitive skin areas. Standardized bandage packs make emergency and routine care easier.
